How to clean the tubes on a weber BBQ barbecue to eliminate the creation of black creosote and eliminate the big wavy yellow flame and get a stable blue burning flame.
Thanks for this video! As obvious as it is (now) I didn't think about pulling the burners from the inside. I thought I had to take the panel off. My problem was that I replaced the igniter but 3 of my 4 tubes would not ignite consistently. I popped the burners out and then reseated them and now I've got consistent ignition. Not sure why that worked but it was easy.
Thanks for taking the time in making this video. I always remove the screws completely and apply never-seize paste to the threads. They come out smoothly every year using a nut driver. I especially needed help to restore the nice blue flames. Thanks again.
Don't grind off the bolt head. Spray with WD40, tap, tap, tap and try again. Then do the back and forth. One of mine was severely rusted with hardly a slot or bolt head. I had to use a small needle nose Vise-Grip. Patience and the back and forth are both good tips.
From the Weber website - The tips of the flames may occasionally flicker yellow (A), and should be light blue (B) towards the top and a darker blue (C) towards the bottom.
You have to adjust the vent near the end of the venturi. It's a mesh air flow adjuster. The flames should be 90% blue with only a tiny tip of yellow flame
